Hi everyone Ive been lurking around here and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is sarah and Ive been married almost 2 yrs. Me and my hubby are going to finally start trying again after my m/c last november. Heres the question.. Im supposed to start today but have been having cramps on and off since last saturday. I felt really nauseus for the past few days off and on. my bb's have been sore since sat too. I took one of those internet brand hpt's on tuesday but it didnt work at all. So today I tried a OPK since I read on here some of the ladies have been using them as preg tests. I got two lines instantly but the test line is just a tad lighter than the control line. I didnt use FMU , im not sure if your supposed to. Anyone know? Thanks in advance..

Well being that your using it as pregnancy test, probably use fmu, but I do know the line has to be as dark as or darker than the control line, just like usual. I would go get a regular test, an early one to get the best results. I just tested the other night and got a positive, my period wasn't quite due, it was withing the next few days. I hadn't had symptoms either, and had AF type cramps like it was on the way, but I tested anyways, and to my surprise I got a BFP. So don't always assume cramps mean AF, especially if there before AF is due.
